ACM-IFIP conference??
by Otto Spaniol 04 Feb '03

04 Feb '03

Dear all, I got a Call for Papers of an "ACM/IFIP EuroPar" conference (see below). Main topic is "Mobile Computing, wireless, mobile communication systems". It appears that this is just one topic (number 15) out of a huge number (19 in total) of areas. EuroPar has many parallel sessions, thus the structure is maybe not liked by us but... The CfP doesn't seem to contain a hint in which way IFIP is involved (apart from the conference name). To my opinion, the topic is strongly related to WG 6.8. sctivities. Theremore my question (in particular to Augusto Casaca and to Jan Slavik): - Are we involved in that event? - If not (yet): How to become involved? I feel that such an activity would be very good for TC6. Moreover: Which committee apart from TC6 might be involved? Best regards Otto The CfP follows. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: February 9, 2003) Euro-Par 2003 - Topic 15 Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Klagenfurt, Austria August 26-29, 2003 http://europar-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ * Description The development of small and powerful computing devices and, simultaneously, of wireless, mobile communication systems offers a great variety of new applications, summarized under the name of Mobile Computing. The phenomenal growth of those mobile computing devices, together with current trends in embedded systems and software, real-time interaction and omnipresent wireless networking fertilises the formation of a Ubiquitous Computing landscape, in which digital environments are aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to the users needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible for the user via natural interaction. This topic solicits papers dealing with the following mobile and ubiquitous computing elements: mobility, ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Mobility addresses solutions that help to make time, geographic, media and service boundaries less and less important. Ubiquity refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of interconnected embedded systems, which are (mostly) invisible and moved into the background of our surrounding (workplace, building, home, outdoor). Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions. Intelligence refers to the fact that the digital surrounding is able to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise as well as show emotion. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech- synthesis, which will allow a much more human-like communication with the digital environment than is possible today. The aim of the topic is to bring together, at Euro-Par 2003, computer scientists an engineers in the areas of wireless networking, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing in order to present and share their ideas about the design and analysis of ubiquitous computing environments and the challenges imposed by the applications of mobile and ubiquitous computing. * Focus Mobile/wireless computing infrastructure Communication in mobile networks Mobility and QoS management Ad-hoc and personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous/pervasive computing software architectures Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Intelligent environments Sensors and actuators Positioning/tracking/authentication systems and technologies Mobile/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications User interfaces and interaction models * Chairs Global Chair Prof. Max Mühlhäuser FG Telekooperation TU Darmstadt, Germany Email: max(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Vice Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche Department of Computer Sciences University of North Texas, USA Email: boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu Karin Anna Hummel Institute for Computer Science and Business Informatics University of Vienna, Austria Email: karin.hummel(a)univie.ac.at Local Chair Prof. Alois Ferscha Institute for Practical Computer Science, Software Group Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Email: ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at * Euro-Par Mission and Details Euro-Par is well established as the premier annual European conference on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The conference normally attracts more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres and industry. Euro-Par 2003 will represent major themes in the categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications. In common with previous years, Euro-Par 2003 will be organized as a number of parallel sessions on 19 topics for which papers are solicited. * Submission Details All accepted papers will be available at the conference in the proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. * Submission Key Dates Online submission site open: January 10, 2003 Final date for submission: February 9, 2003 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2003 Camera ready version: May 25, 2003
